[交流] Real happiness

I experienced a community of people who worked hard, but always with plenty of laughter and sing. These people were dirt poor by western standards, with no running water, electricity or any other modern convenience. Yet they displayed tremendous joy in their lives, with their keen senses of humor and their liking for dancing and drumming till the early hours of the morning . I learned a powerful lesson that would continue to impress me for decades to come: happiness is not dependent on material wealth. And it was this lesson that eventually led me to question the American dream- a dream of gaining as much money, power, and status as humanly possible.

曾碰到过这样一群人,他们工作很艰苦,但却总是充满欢笑和歌声。按西方人的标准来说,这些人穷困潦倒,他没没有自来水,没有电力设施,更没有其他的现代便利设施。但是,他们却又这强烈的幽默感,他们喜欢跳舞和打鼓到天明,表现出了极大的生活乐趣。让我的感悟几十年过去依然记忆犹新:幸福并非建立在物质财富之上。也正是这一感悟让我开始怀疑所谓的美国梦-力所能及地获取金钱,权利和地位的梦想。

I think even though happiness does not come from material wealth, but we still need to have enough money to maintain our life, so there is a balance between material wealth and true happiness. We need find the balance through our life.
Move forward with grateful heart.
